all the stores push Ultragreen.
I'm sure they are getting a kickback, or getting a sweat deal on bulk spools.

no kickback that I know of.  It's just good line.  But, only if you change it when you should.  Like reports say, if you leave it on too long, it gets memory and becomes a little brittle.

I quit using mono and went with braided line.  It seems much more durable and you get better feel through the line.

This may be something I might look at. The only issue with braids is that they are highly visible in the water and spook the fish.

bentrod, I'm not the type that will change the line "according to instructions".
The instructions are designed to recommend you to buy more line.
I only change line if it becomes too short, too streched, too much memory over time.

the problem with braid is the no stretch thing.  Your leader and rod takes all the shock.  So if you don't mind going with heavy leaders and broken rod tips, have at it.
